    Not dead, Ch. 3 submissions back open

    Sorry it's been so long since an update, but the guy who had been promising to create something for Ch. 3 seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. As such, all responses to the prompt will now be accepted once again. Please, I would like to see this story completed, but I need your help for that to happen. I'm also feeling a bit more flexible about the rules, so if you have any questions

    Update on the "deadline"

    Okay, I've heard from two people now that they are working on submissions, so I am going to do two things.
    1. I am going to negate the deadline for now, but may put it back up for a week from now if neither of them follow up.

    How this will work

    Okay people, here’s what’s going on: this is no ordinary collaboration fic, because I’m going to be asking you (yes, YOU) for help in writing it. Until this fic is finished, the most recently posted chapter in this story will always start off as nothing more than a prompt or a basic set of bullet points. Your job is to make suggestions in the comments for how the chapter should play out in more

    This is getting ridiculous

    Come on, it's been over a month, and STILL NO SUBMISSIONS!? I really hate to do this, but I guess I've got no choice but to set a deadline. Unless someone sends me a submission by 7/22, I'm going to declare this experiment a failure and call it off. That's three weekends for you to write.

    Chapter 1 Rewritten

    It had been brought to my attention that the first chapter of Half-Moon Rising was somewhat lacking, and to be honest, I did sort of rush through writing it. I have rewritten the chapter over the past week and just posted it, and I would like to hear your thoughts on the new and improved Chapter 1.

Update on the "deadline" · 12:45am Jul 23rd, 2012

Okay, I've heard from two people now that they are working on submissions, so I am going to do two things.
1. I am going to negate the deadline for now, but may put it back up for a week from now if neither of them follow up.
2. I am going to start setting more deadlines for future chapters, because it seems some contributors might wait until the last minute to submit something, so I'd better give them a "last minute" to allow them to write.

And now, I'm going to leave you all with my favorite Gabe Newell quote on Valve's problem with release dates: "A great product will only be late temporarily, but a bad product will suck forever."

I'm willing to help beta anything that is sent in, and I can help with a little bit of writing if you need a scene or two written. I'm not too good at motivating myself to write a bunch at a time though. That's the only reason I haven't gotten anything done for this or my own ideas for fics despite planning to.
